Te Radar at Residues to Revenues 2013Friday 22 Feb 2013
(FIEA) Residues to Revenues/CleanTECH 2013 conference series, it has been confirmed that the after dinner speaker will be well-known and self-titled "Opinionist", Te Radar for the Auckland event. Te Radar was in Rotorua in mid-December filming footage for the second season in his TV series on sustainability. Radar and his film crew were hosted by Russell Brown and Karl Rodgers of Jensen Logging in Kaingaroa Forest early one fine morning in December. Radar was gobsmacked with the technology employed in forest harvesting. Next stop for the modest TV series host was Shane Hookers wood recovery and residues operations at Red Stag Timber's Waipa millsite in Rotorua. Shane's team was joined by the Red Stag environmental manager Tim Charleston. Te Radar got to film how wood energy is important to the whole site energy balance. Finally the team took their cameras out to Rotoiti Forest where Shane's binwood operations were the focus and discussion turned to the massive opportunities which are still out there for further wood residues to be re-integrated into the pulp, paper and wood energy sectors. Te Radar is an award winning satirist, documentary maker, writer, stage and screen director, failed gardener, and amateur historian. He is also the star of six top rating TVNZ programmes, Radar Across the Pacific, Global Radar, Radar’s Patch, Off the Radar, Homegrown and Hidden In The Numbers. New series of both Global Radar and Radar Across the Pacific are currently in production. He has twice won the Qantas Media Award for Best Humour Column for his New Zealand Herald columns and he has published a book of his experience’s with sustainable living, Off The Radar: A Man, A Plan, and a Paddock. Radar is a valuable addition to the Residues to Revenues 2013 line up. In his role of After-dinner Speaker he is sure to be a captivating speaker and deliver a few laughs along the way. | ||
